Mind you, here's the other thing about Wes' dive

The ref had shown himself to be absolutely, completely clueless throughout the first half. Rather than be all nice, fair and allow ourselves to get done by a mistake against us, we just took advantage of his incompetence. That's clever, isn't it?

In similar vein: because Howard Webb allowed Holland to get away with GBH in the 2010 final, Spain started throwing themselves around and rolling halfway to Madrid. It worked. It was arguably their only option too given the Dutch tactics.
